The Untouchable Ex Wife by Mizuki Sei

After finishing his sentence, Xavier ran off the same way he did before.

"How childish!" Stefan rubbed his temples and shook his head speechlessly.

However, he was a little worried that something bad might happen to Renee. He stood up and prepared to leave.

The old man stopped him. "Young man, that is your friend's fate. You don't have to get involved. Why don't you stay here and browse through these treasures? Perhaps, something you buy might one day become the thing that brings you and the love of your life together."

It was strange. Whereas others would've thought this old man was making nonsense up, Stefan trusted him and stayed. He scanned the things on display, and that was when a silk object caught his eye.

To be more precise, the art on the silk object caught his attention.

"How much is this?" Stefan asked.

"Since you and I met by fate, I'll sell it to you for a dollar. Consider it as a payment for drawing the bamboo stick." The old man then put the silk object in a box and handed it to Stefan. "You've got a good eye. This silk object is very lucky to have found you as its owner."

"Thank you." Stefan accepted it.

Although he still had many questions, he recalled that Renee's situation was still unclear. He stopped talking and quickly made his way to the underground casino.

The underground casino below Water Dock's antique market was a dangerous place. It was a place unbounded by the rule of law, where only the size of one's fists mattered.

This place was dark, bloody, and full of violence. Countless lives were taken here.

Stefan couldn't understand why Renee would come to a place like this.

She was constantly looking for trouble!

It was very crowded in the underground casino. There was a heavy scent of various types of tobacco present. One could also smell danger in the air.

In this lawless place, anything could be bought and sold. Gamblers stood around tables with intense gazes in their eyes. They could make a lot of money with a snap of the fingers, but they could also lose all their money just as quickly.

As soon as Stefan walked in, he frowned at the disgusting stench that permeated his nose.

After casually scanning the surroundings, he saw a bloody heart on a casino table that was still beating.

A sexy female dealer in a tight black leather jacket and leather skirt, who also had on a pair of bunny ears pointed at the heart. "Everyone, listen up. This is a cow's heart that was just extracted. It's still beating. If you eat it raw, it'll improve your stamina and extend your lifespan. FindNovell.com fast update You'll need a bit of luck to make it yours... Come on now. Place your bets!"

Everyone began placing their bets. The dealer swayed her hips from side to side while she rolled the dice.

After the results were announced, a plump man found out he had won. He smiled widely and began gnawing at the heart. His mouth was covered in blood, and everyone cheered.

Feeling sick to his stomach, Stefan quickly looked away.

The heart might have belonged to a cow, but it looked no different from a human heart. The sight of it was revolting.

When Stefan looked away, he saw other similar gambles taking place. It didn't look like the human world. It looked more like hell where demons roamed.

He'd heard that the underground casino in Water Dock was famous for the wrong reasons, but he didn't know it was this bad.

Stefan's haloemia was kicking in. He found it increasingly difficult to breathe, and his head was getting heavy. He probably wouldn't even last for a minute longer.

After taking a deep breath, he forced himself to keep searching.
